i use internal uv's takes the guess work out of flow rate but the inline ones are pretty simply cut the output pipe some where where you can mount it on the wall or your stand and attach pretty easy just make sure the size and flow rate of the pumps you use match the bulb output /wattage to fast and it will not work properly..
heres a spare hard to find these puppys the 9w i use one a 55g and a 24w on a 90g plec tank first one i bought was for g/w cleared it up in 3 days i swear by my uvs now also there is no brand name just the model # u see here i googled it because i was to lazy to take a pic nothing go fiquire..
lol, there Fish R Fun Den Marketing internal UV's. recently came out here in the UK and hit it quite big.
I'ved got a 9W one just to wack in a tank incase of diasease etc, although on the first 1 i had the wire came off the power head, so on the 2nd one I'ved put extra silicone where the wire goes into the powerhead.
The only problem with them is you have to replace the whole unit apart from the pump after 6 months when the sealed UV bulb burns out.
9w's cost £20 and the 11W are £30. Not bad for a back up emergency thing, but I still prefer the TMC Vectons.
